DAY #12 - THE CAREPOINT COOKS
The CarePoint cooks are volunteers. They come faithfully to the CarePoint in their own neighborhoods every day to start the fires and put on the pots, filling them with water and maize - preparing for the neighborhood kids who have no one to cook for them. At some CarePoints they prepare for several hundred kids every day. Knowing they are the only adult supervision in some of these kids’ lives, we are teaching them to show the love of Jesus. Pray with us that each one of our CarePoint cooks will accept Jesus as their personal Savior so they can truly be a picture of Jesus to our kids in every act of service that they perform.
Today, we have asked DeLynn Rizzo, who is Healing Place Church's Worship Pastor and the leader of Healing Place Women, to lead us in prayer for these special ladies.
- Dear Heavenly Father, I ask You today to pour out a mighty blessing on the lives of the CarePoint cooks in Africa. I pray that You would place a hedge of protection around them and their families with an army of Your angels. Keep them physically and spiritually strong in the power of Your might. We know that it is not by might, not by power, but by Your Spirit that we are protected and blessed. Please allow them to call to mind Matthew 25:40 and know that when they have done a deed to the least of these they have done it unto You. Let them reap a harvest beyond their imagination for the seeds they are helping to plant in the lives of these children. It is all for Your glory and I just ask that You bless and multiply every meal they make in order to nourish the precious little children. I ask all these things in the precious name of Jesus. Amen!
